Uterus Transplant | Baylor Scott & White Health

First in the United States:

Baby Born to Mother Who Received Transplanted Uterus

A baby has been born at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, a part of Baylor Scott & White Health, to a mother who received a uterus as part of a landmark clinical trial conducted over the past year and a half. This live birth is the latest medical milestone in the uterine transplant clinical trial at Baylor University Medical Center, being conducted through Baylor Scott & White Research Institute.

PHASE 4 Implantation:
Patient may be eligible for her embryo to be implanted as early as 12 months after the transplant.

PHASE 5 Pregnancy:
If implantation is successful, recipient becomes pregnant, with the goal of carrying her baby to term.

This first live birth to a uterus transplant recipient in the United States was a milestone in our work to solve absolute uterine factor infertility; but, more importantly, a beautiful moment of love and hope for a mother who had been told she would never be able to carry her own child.
